StJ - I bought my first car in 1990 when I was 15. I was driving around in the country and saw it sitting on the side of the road....and had to have it!

She was a black 1982 Mazda RX7 with custom red interior. The owner was an executive at Mead Johnson's and had given the car to his wife for her 50th birthday in 1982. In 1988 he had the interior customized, and a '88 "Turbo II" engine installed. When his wife saw the new body style in '89 she wanted one of those so the '82 with 61k miles (on the chasis and 13k on the turbo engine) eventually found its way to me.

I only kept that car for 11 months, because I felt bad about owning a foreign car (haven't owned one since). However, those 11 months generated a lot of interest from the ladies <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
